Hosted by Ginny Bolling, SR/WA.  We help investors like you build wealth and income, passively, while improving communities through commercial real estate! For as little as $50,000, you may be able to own large commercial properties with others, passively, meaning you don't have to do any work or take any more risk than your own investment amount.  You would be a passive investor; a limited partner.   The risks and rewards are shared in a syndication business model, so it is a less risky, yet you get the benefits of property ownership (tax shelters like depreciation, sometimes tax credits, abatements, leverage, appreciation, cashflow, inflation hedge and it is a tangible, durable asset that gives you diversification from other asset types).

    How Smart Value-Add Investing Creates Better Multifamily Returns with Jim Buck

They cover what to look for in B- and C-class properties, why resident experience matters, and how parking, finishes, amenities, and location can impact occupancy and turnover. Jim also shares his perspective on opportunities in Tampa and St. Pete, mixed-use development, and why steady returns often matter more than chasing unrealistic numbers. It’s a practical look at how smarter capital decisions can create stronger value for both tenants and investors.

    How Sanjay Vora Gives Investors, Sponsors, & Fund Managers More Control

    Sanjay’s Takeaway: More control, more choice, and less paperwork. Customizable funds let real estate investors choose the deals they want, see where their money goes, and manage different account types under one fund. What if you could get the benefits of a real estate fund without giving up control over which deals you invest in? In this episode, Ginny Bolling sits down with Sanjay Vora to break down how the Avestor platform works, from investor onboarding and accreditation to KYC checks, deal documents, and capital distributions. They explain how investors can build their own mix of investments while keeping everything in one place. One key benefit is simpler tax reporting, with one K-1 across multiple deals. For investors seeking more flexibility, transparency, and control over private real estate investments, this episode offers a clear look at how the model works. Sanjay Vora is the founder and CEO of Avestor, where he helps build and manage private investment funds. He has advised and launched more than 200 funds and invested in hundreds of private deals. Before Avestor, Sanjay was a Vice President at Intel, leading product and strategic planning for its $40 billion PC business.
